If you’re looking to swap out your stock air filter for something that actually makes a difference, you might want to check out this BMC cylindrical air filter. It’s designed to slide right into your vehicle's original airbox, replacing that OEM filter that’s probably holding you back.
This isn’t just any filter. BMC uses some seriously high-performance materials here. You get better airflow and filtration, with the ability to trap particles as tiny as 7 microns. For comparison, the stock filters only catch down to 10 microns. That means more clean air getting to your engine, which is always a good thing.
Now, let’s talk about how they make these filters. BMC employs a "Full Moulding" process, which means the iconic red filter is crafted from a single piece without any welded joints. This is crucial because welded seams can be weak points that lead to breakage. Plus, the rubber they use is tough and sticks well to all kinds of airbox shapes, so you know it’s built to last.
What’s inside? A multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, all wrapped up in an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This setup not only keeps your filter safe from gas fumes but also resists oxidation from humidity. And the best part? These filters come pre-oiled and can be cleaned and reused with the right BMC regeneration kit. Talk about sustainable!
So, who can use this beauty? Here’s a quick rundown:
In short, if you want a filter that’s ready to perform and built to last, this BMC air filter is a solid choice. It’s all about getting that clean air into your engine, and this filter does just that.

BMC started in 1973 as an automotive parts distribution company, and they began developing filters in 1996. Today, BMC air filters is one of the best known automotive air filter companies in the world. They started in Bologna, Italy, but now they have offices all over the world including Germany, China, and India.
In 2010 BMC Air Filters began developing composite materials for use with their air filters. These advanced composites materials are used to develop airboxes for BMC air intake systems. BMC achieved certifications EN 9100 : 2018 and ISO 9001 : 2015 for the design and manufacturing of air filters and composite materials for aerospace, automotive, naval and industrial sector.
Why Replace Your Air Filter?You might be wondering why you even need to replace your air filter. As the name suggests, air filters are designed to filter the air being sucked into your engine. Without filtering the air particles will be sucked into the engine and cause internal damage over an extended period.
Automotive manufacturers must build their vehicles to a cost, which means some parts are less than ideal in engineering and quality. In general, OEM filters are typically made of paper and heavily restrict airflow and can't be replaced, and they offer limited filtration properties in many applications.
By replacing your air filter with a cotton air filter, like the ones offered by BMC, you can improve filtration and airflow significantly. Many aftermarket filters, including BMC air filters, are made from cotton which offers better flow and filtration characteristics compared to an OEM filter.
Why Choose BMC Air Filters?There are lots of options for aftermarket air filters, so why should you choose BMC air filters? With a big focus on quality, air flow, filtration, and longevity, BMC is one of the best options on the market.
